Stuart Wood, Triumph Chief Engineer, said: “Triumph have been extremely warmly welcomed by Dorna, its partners and the press. It really feels like people share our excitement in Triumph’s entry into factory supported, top-flight motorcycle racing. We are confident that our engine development program has been extremely comprehensive and that the increased power, wide spread of torque and amazing triple sound will bring exciting racing in 2019.”

Triumph also supported extensive ECU development testing with Magneti Marelli. This was a track-focused development program. In collaboration with Magneti Marelli, Triumph supplied the base data and the provision of engines, a full test mule and a Triumph technical support team.

Chassis development testing

Triumph supplied development engines via Externpro to the chassis manufacturers to test. These tests included current and former Moto2™ championship racers. Triumph additionally provided ECU development input to the chassis manufacturers.

Triumph Ambassador James Toseland took to a wet Valencia track on race day, between the Moto2 and Moto3 races, to showcase the future of Moto2 and the upcoming 2019 season for thousands of race fans. James treated the crowd to some magic Triumph Triple sound. James, who also commented for BT Sport during the race weekend, really enjoyed the short but sweet parade lap.

Sound recording for 2019 Moto GP™ Game

Working with Dorna, Triumph provided its Moto2™ engine prototype for recording, so that it will be included in the 2019 Moto GP™ game. The signature Triumph Triple engine will be replicated digitally, to treat online race fans new and old to a wall of British Triple sound!
